Brazilian Bethe “Pitbull” Correia will debut in the UFC in style. After Mitch Gagnon was cut from UFC Fight Night 33 for not being able to obtain an Australian visa, the fight between Bethe and Julie Kedzie was promoted to the main card of the event, which takes place on Friday night (6) – Brazilian time.
Due to visa problems, and due to the proximity of the event, the fight between Mitch Gagnon and Alex Caceres, which was supposed to open the main card of fight night, ended up being postponed to a date yet to be announced. As a result, the vacancy left by the confrontation was occupied by the women's fight that would close the preliminary card.
Bethe Correia, 30 years old, is undefeated in professional MMA. The native of Rio Grande do Norte won the six fights she had, the last of which was against Erica Paes in the Jungle Fight. His opponent, Julie Kedzie, is a veteran of the sport. Kedzie has a record of 16 wins and twelve losses. The North American is coming off a defeat to Germain de Randamie, in his Ultimate debut.
UFC Fight Night 33 takes place in the Australian city of Brisbane on Friday night (06) and Saturday (07) local time. In the main fight of the night, Brazilian Antônio “Pezão” Silva faces New Zealander Mark Hunt. In the co-main event, the light heavyweight Mauritius Shogun stares at James Te Huna.
